Problem when updating from v1.71+ to 1.90+
4 years 4 months ago #50115

I had not been using my survey-tool for a while but was about too again and felt that I should update before going any futher. The installation on the server was version 1.71+ and I tried updating to current version 1.90+ build 9130.

I tried following the update instructions (The thorough way) exactly, but when i get to the final step "Modify the new database tables and finish the installation" and navigate to "/admin/admin.php" the browser starts loading and then i just get the following error message:
The LimeSurvey database is being upgraded (2010-10-06 11:30:08) . Please be patient...

The update script runs into a time limit. Raise max execution time at php.ini or ask your provider/admin to do so.

Yeah i saw that i got a time limit error message but I just got the feeling that the earlier error messages didn't relate to the time limit but something else?

I don't know, but updating from 1.70 to 1.80 make a lot of step, maybe it's possible to do update 1.0->1.8->1.9

Sure i could try updating in steps I just didn't try it because it didn't say anything in the update instructions about this beeing a problem. In fact the headline of the update instruction is: "Upgrading from version 1.45 or later to the latest 1.xx series".

How many steps do you think are necessary, 1.71 > 1.80 > 1.90?
